Quinoa is a highly nutritious and versatile food that has gained popularity in recent years due to its health benefits and its adaptability to various culinary recipes. Originating from the Andes, where it was cultivated by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, quinoa is considered a pseudocereal, as it is not a true grain but is consumed in a similar way to them. Quinoa is an excellent source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans, as it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. In addition, it is rich in fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and antioxidants.
